Biochemistry Molecular Biology of Plants is a major contribution to the plant sciences literature, superbly edited by three distinguished scientists, Bob B. Buchanan, Wilhelm Gruissem, and Russell L. Jones, with contributions from more than 50 world-renowned scientists. With over 1,400 pages, 1,100 full-colour original drawings and 500 photographs this work qualifies, in the words of the Science reviewer, as:
"an essential reference for practicing plant biologists and for the increasing number of scientists from other disciplines who are entering the field of plant biology. To exploit fully the wealth of new information provided by the genome projects and to integrate the metabolic, regulatory, and signal transduction pathways of complex organisms, biologists will require a solid command of biochemistry and physiology. For this reason, the publication of Biochemistry Molecular Biology of Plants could not have come at a more opportune and auspicious time."
This book is meticulously organised and richly illustrated, useful both for teaching and for reference. The multi-authored work provides a contemporary view of its subject, including molecular biology, cell biology, and plant physiology, integrated around the themes of:
compartmentation
cell reproduction
energetics
metabolism
development Read the words of the reviewer in CELL:
"The great strength of this book is that it has integrated its three major components (molecular biology, cell biology, and plant biochemistry) in each of the 24 chapters, resulting in a comprehensive analysis of a multitude of specific topics."
Who should buy this spectacular new text?
Plant biologists and scientists in related fields
Professors in departments of plant biology, plant biochemistry, plant physiology, and related fields
Graduate and upper-level undergraduate students of plant biology
Researchers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agribusiness industries
A CD-ROM of all illustrative matter in the book is available separately.

只是挑选了特定章节阅读。作为一个做genomics和bioinformatics的学生，实在是觉得biochem内容太多了…………
